Five Jewels, Two Souls, One Destiny by Heather Christi
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!
By the way, for the people who like FATEFUL CURSE, I am writing the story still and I posted a chapter as an apology but till then I am scheduled to write another chapter on the 06th.
::thoughts:: ENJOY!
{----[Chapter Six: Deadly Promises]----}
::How does she have the Shikon Jewel?:: Then it clicked in her mind when she looked back to look at Hojo. ::My date?! I ran into Meiwaku and the jewel must have fallen off when I fell down. Just my luck::
"Ohh. Kagome. Did someone get hurt today?" Meiwaku said in a babied voice towards Kagome as she observed her new fresh wounds on her body. "Did your little boyfriend abuse you for his twisted pleasure?" Before she could reply, Hojo stepped in front of Kagome and glared down at Meiwaku.
"You're trash. Leave Kagome alone or I'll make you," Hojo said coldly. Kagome was surprised at the rough tone in his voice. ::Where had this Hojo come from? Big difference from the one I know. Although it is flattering for him to stand up for me. Oh crap! I better pull them apart before something bad really happens::
Kagome reached out and hooked her arms into Hojo's, pulling him back away from the high school bully. "Hojo, nevermind her. She's just trying to get under our skin."
"That's not all I can get under Hojo," she whispered seductively, making Kagome wrinkle her nose in disgust. "I know I can definitely get under the covers with you." Meiwaku glanced at Kagome, noticing her revolted at her actions. She stared over at poor Hojo's blank look and she burst out laughing, if you even call the nails on a chalkboard sound laughter in the first place.
Kagome had enough and she felt she was going to burst. She hated to admit it but Meiwaku really could get to her easily, no matter how hard Kagome tried to not let any of the things she said get to her. She could stand Meiwaku push her around and try to order her. She could even tolerate her insulting her and embarrassing her. But this was it! Kagome absolutely *hated*, truly *hated*, when Meiwaku messed with any of her friends! It was the last straw! No one would try to pick on her innocent friends.
"Meiwaku," Kagome said as calmly as she could through clenched teeth. "Leave us alone." Meiwaku halted in her laughing attack and stared amusingly at Kagome. Although the hatred for Kagome still danced in her cold sapphire eyes.
"What are you going to do about it if I don't, you little bitch? Are you going to sick your abusive boyfriend on me?" Meiwaku taunted Kagome haughtily.
SMACK!
Raven hair fluttered down like a midnight black curtain and a nasty bruise was now beginning to form on the once flawless fair skin. Blood trickled down slowly where nails had connected to soft flesh. A shiny pink jewel landed softly on the dusty ground with a small thump of a sound. Everything was silent and still. No one dared to make a single move, no matter how slight it was. Breathing seemed to stop from all the figures standing in the crammed doorway to the shrine house. A stinging sensation rose from the injured area on the high cheekbone. A gentle hand reached up to gently cup the bruised cheek to inspect the damage. Salty tears stung the back of the eyes of the angry bully. It wasn't out of the pain she could feel vibrate in her scratches or the out of the pain from the bruising impact of the bone-cracking smack. It was out of the anguish and the hatred she felt bubbling inside of her towards her most detested classmate, Kagome.
"How dare you," Meiwaku's voice soft at first. "How dare you. How dare you lay a hand on me! How dare you hit me!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs towards 'innocent' Kagome, getting right into her face.
"That's enough Meiwaku," Hojo cut it. "Just leave. Get away from here before this gets any worse than it already is." The angered youth stepped back from them and stared into Kagome's chocolate brown eyes coldly and whispered harshly a few words filled with a dreadful promise.
"You. Will. Pay. Ka-go-me." She spoke every word carefully using them all strongly to make her point clear. She turned and walked away from the two glaring teenagers staring at her contumely. Kagome closed the door with a slam, forgetting about the special pink jewel lying abandoned on the dusty earth.
[----{INUYASHA
::I must find a place safe enough for Kikyo! I have to save her! I owe her that much:: The 'normal' Inuyasha was back (thank Kami-sama)! He was racing towards old Kaede's village. The panicking demon was running so swiftly through the forest that he was only just a blur if anyone spotted his figure out. His white gray hair flew back behind him and entwined along with the priestess's unraveled raven hair. Her stormy gray eyes were closed and she was fading in and out of the dark world of unconsciousness. ::Oh no Kikyo! You won't die on me again! I promise::
Large oak trees seem to whiz past them at a high speed so fast it made your eyes hurt just *trying* to gaze at them. The sun was still shining high in the blue sky, heating the rapidly moving demon and causing his fire rat jacket to cling heavily to his muscular form. Time was a gentle subject in this matter and Kikyo's soul was beginning to grow wary very quickly. ::DON'T DIE ON ME!::
What seemed like ages the arrived at the lowly populated village ran by Kaede, the old woman who happened to be Kikyo's younger sister even if it might not look that way exactly. She was sitting outside her hut picking some medical herbs that proved very useful in situations like these. Kaede's worn body moved slowly to pick up the herbs but she noticed a change in the wind. She looked up only to see the frightened and concerned Inuyasha with her unconscious older sister's body hung over his shoulder limply.
"What happened ye child? What happened to my older sister?" She rushed over as quickly as she could, forgetting about the important herbs in her garden she was collecting moments ago. Her gray hair hung down her back and sweat caused a few strands to stick to the skin on her face, especially her forehead. "Quickly, let's get her inside and inspect her wounds. Hurry now!"
Inuyasha did what he was told and hurried inside the small old hut of Kaede's. He laid Kikyo down carefully on the futon next to the far wall on the left in the hut, mindful of the wound on her back where the arrow was intruding in her skin. He could smell her original earthy dirt and mud scent mixed with the scent of dried and freshly spilled blood.
"Ye shall have to pull thee arrow of her carefully," Kaede said commandingly.
Inuyasha gulped and looked at the arrow, fear and discomfort shining in his eyes. He didn't want to bring any more pain upon Kikyo's tormented soul. He felt as if she deserved more than that and she didn't deserve something like this done to her. She was just wandered the earth looking to ease her soul into death. Was that a crime? But he knew, this had to be done and they (or he) had to get the arrow removed from her body before it got infected or worse.
He reached a hand forward and gulped loudly. He was frightened. No matter how many times he had seen bloodied scenes or demon guts, hurting someone he knew wasn't his idea of a good time. Inuyasha grasped the end of the arrow sticking out and gently pulled, feeling resistance and a small pained noise from below. He pulled his hand back in a flash.
"Inuyasha, don't ye worry," Kaede spoke up softly. Inuyasha looked up and stared at her with his eyes filled with pain. Kaede shook her head. "Just pull thy arrow out. She's unconscious and she can not feel thee feeble pulls."
He reached a hand forward once more and gulped nervously. He grabbed the arrow tightly and counted in his mind to three before he pulled the arrow out. It made a sickening sound as it released its grasp from Kikyo's cold skin. Dark crimson blood began to pour and Kaede quickly bound the wound carefully. Inuyasha stepped back and watched, observing and taking in the very bloody scene. Kaede turned back to him and nodded towards the door. Inuyasha respected her wishes for once (because he was still in shock of Kikyo close to death again) and stepped outside of the hut to get a breather. He walked around and headed towards the tree he was pinned to for 50 years.
Finally Inuyasha reached his destination and jumped up into one of the higher branches, unknowingly staring in the direction of the Bone Eater's well. He was worrying about Kikyo and hoping she would be okay. Though she had caused so much trouble and pain to everyone, even to herself, he couldn't help but not think about her. Kikyo confused him too. One moment she was trying to kill Kagome, take the jewel, and take him to hell with her and the next she was trying to get rid of the bastard Naraku and confess her love to him. It really confused him and he didn't know what to do.
Memories of Kagome came flooding back in a rush. Kagome hugging him. Kagome sitting him. Kagome crying for him. Kagome protecting Koga from him. Kagome treating his wounds. Kagome worrying for him. Kagome fuming at him. Kagome being there for him. She seemed to always be there. He could remember Kikyo but she wasn't always there for him. Kagome was even there witnessing him vowing to always protect Kikyo. She was always there.
Would she always be?
[----{KAGOME
She stared at Hojo with disbelief and confusion shining in her teary chocolate brown eyes before she launched herself into his warm arms. Kagome wrapped her own slender arms around his trim waist tightly and buried her face into his chest, sobbing softly. Hojo was surprised at her sudden action but eventually, wrapped his arms slowly around her shaky frame as well. He placed his head on top of her head and closed his eyes, rocking them both back and forth gently. Hojo calmly whispered words of comfort and concern to try and soothe her.
Kagome had just had enough of everything. She was tired with Inuyasha and Meiwaku and everyone seeming to think she was so weak and vulnerable. Inuyasha had taken advantage of that way of thinking and hurt her. Meiwaku had used something very special to her and used insults to get under her skin. Today just had been too stressful and she was riding on exhaustion.
Kagome sobs soon died down to little hiccups and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand very childlike. She stepped back from Hojo and mumbled an apology. Hojo told her it was alright, also asking if she was okay.
"I'm okay Hojo," Kagome looked up into Hojo's concerned eyes and smiled softly. "Thank you so much for standing up for me. I really appreciate that." She unwrapped her arms from around his waist with a soft pink blush across her cheeks.
"I was glad to do it for you Kagome," he replied. "I never did like her. She's so rude and bossy. Such a witch." Kagome chuckled and walked over to the stairs, climbing up them slowly. Hojo followed her making sure she didn't fall backwards-again.
They got to the entrance of her bedroom and she turned around to face the brown haired teen. Their faces ended up only a few inches away from the other's. Kagome gulped and blushed at the nearness. Hojo's light brown (?) eyes widened and were filled with surprise.
"I'm jus-ss-t umm going to go to er. sleep for a little umm while. Exhausting day you know and I'm very uhh. tired. Thanks again for coming over and helping me umm through everything. I guess, I appreciate it. A lot," she somewhat stuttered through it, blushing deeper with every word.
"It was no problem. Have a nice rest. I'll try to call tomorrow and see if you're any better," Hojo said without a problem. He leaned forward slightly and planted a light goodnight kiss on her uninjured cheek. Hojo pulled back and smiled at Kagome's dumbfounded look. "Goodnight," he whispered. Hojo turned away after a moment of studying her face and walked down the stairs quickly. Kagome could hear the door close but she just stood there.
:He kissed me. He kissed me:: She could still feel the warmth of his soft kiss burning on her cheek. Kagome turned and opened her bedroom door, walking into her dark room careful of the glass still on the bedroom floor. She quickly changed into a light purple tank top and matching purple cotton shorts to sleep in, all the while thinking of Hojo's kiss that still lingered on her warm cheek. Kagome hopped into her still broken bed reminding herself to clean up the glass in the morning when she woke up and hopefully get her family, who were still on vacation somewhere, to replace her bed with a new one. She wasn't exactly in the mood right at the moment. Her last thoughts as she drifted off the peaceful sleep were 'I'll go back to the Feudal Era tomorrow'.
[----{INUYASHA
Sleep came uneasy for the half demon as he swayed in the tree as the cool wind blew some of his white grayish hair into his scrunched up face. His unpleasant dreams were haunted by Kikyo's torturous pain and by the sheer sound of Kagome's terrified screams. He tossed and turned in the tree, fortunately not falling down to dangerously land somewhere on the hard ground below with a loud thud to awaken nearby sleepers.
It was night and the sky was dark but lit up with the millions or trillions of shining stars in the sky. Everyone seemed to be sleeping, no matter if their dreams were tormented or not. Some demons were up, scheming up plans for revenge or for murderous killing. Others were just wandering around, uncaring of where they were going to end up. Either way, it didn't matter.
[----{KAGOME
It was morning and the sun was barely up in sky. Kagome awoke with a start and she didn't know why. She had no previous thoughts or any remembrance of her dreams but all she knew was she *had* to go to the Feudal Era very soon. Something seemed to be calling her there. She stepped out of bed only to meet with a sharp pain in her foot. Kagome jumped back on the bed and inspected her foot for any injuries. A piece of glass was intruding into her skin. She cursed her stupidity and pulled out the large section of glass. Kagome hissed in pain but remembered what she had to do.
Carefully this time, she literally jumped out of bed over of the glass. She smirked triumphantly at the glass on the floor and made her way to her closet, pulling out a white blouse and some jean shorts to wear. She changed quickly, not bothering to brush her unruly bed-hair as she made her way out of her bedroom. Kagome put on some sneakers and made her way out of the shrine house, towards the well house.
Unexpectedly she heard a soft crunch and felt a hard sphere-like object underneath her shoe. She looked down and removed her foot from whatever that was underneath her foot. It was the Shikon no Tama! Kagome felt tears of relief come to her eyes! ::THANK KAMI-SAMA!:: Kagome reached down and picked up the pink jewel. Although there was barely any light out, the jewel seemed to glow with a pure brightness. She tied the string holding the jewel in a knot around her slender neck quickly and fingered the jewel as she ran to the well house.
Kagome opened the doors to the small confinement of the well and climbed down the stairs in there. She jumped into the forsaken well. A bright flash of white light engulfed her body, sending her to her destination.
She looked up to see the light sky of the Feudal Era instead of the well house ceiling. Kagome carefully climbed up the vines on the inside of the well and stepped onto the soft green grass of Inuyasha's time. Oh how happy she was to be back. Kagome had thought she'd never get to set foot in this place again when she saw Meiwaku had gotten hold the unique jewel. She wiped the imaginary dirt of her shorts and got up to walk to Kaede's village unsure if she'd be awake at this hour when a voice interrupted her travel.
"So you are Inuyasha's wench."

Guess who that voice is? I haven't had any inspiration lately and I don't know what to do. I'm stuck right here with ideas. Sorry I haven't updated sooner but reviews would really help my spirits right now. I feel unloved, seriously. No one's reading Fateful Curse or reviewed on my last chapter and well, battle scenes aren't my strong points. Not that I've done one to really know if I am in the first place.
Just please! PLEASE! REVIEW! (I'm desperate. At least I can admit it.)
